palestinians raise their hopes for a successful statehood bid at the u.n. despite firm opposition from the u.s. and israel which claims the state is upgraded won't improve life for the autonomy. unrelenting protests in egypt as christians and liberals boycott the vote on a new constitution fearing the document will only cement the president and the muslim brotherhood's grip on power. and from knowing feels the heat with media and lawmakers blasting chancellor merkel for concealing the true costs of saving grace .

watching live from moscow now it's crunch time for palestinians eagerly anticipating a u.n. vote which may finally see them granted long sought after statehood the autonomy is hoping to be upgraded to the position of nonmember observer state hundreds of people flooded the streets of ramallah in the support of the big submitted by authorities in the west bank the palestinian leadership is optimistic about the outcome despite strong opposition from the u.s. and israel because the based activists curry favor ports on why success at the u.n. is so important the palestinians. at the end of the day we have in here in the middle east we have an israeli state and then we have a normal palestinian state simply palestinian territories the palestinian people do not have rights like israelis do as a result of the status of the national entity and so this is a bid by mahmoud abbas to upgrade the status of the palestinian territories. to

try and move towards a recognition of the palestinian territories as palestine and here in gaza this has a lot of significance because the palestinian territories geographically noncontiguous we have the west bank and gaza in the west bank particular associated with the power of mahmoud abbas and here in gaza particular associated with the power of hamas now recently of course we've had the two thousand and twelve gaza war seven eight day war with a state of israel and palestinian resistance groups including the resistance wing of hamas as part of the brigades used force against the state of israel in that conflict that is starkly different in terms of positioning with the state of israel in terms of gauging where the state of israel in comparison to mahmoud abbas who is seen in the western world as much more moderate in comparison to how mass presenting a more hardline position including armed resistance against the state of israel so

what we have here is a palestinian political dynamic as well if the western world and indeed the u.n. does not support this increase status for the palestinian people then what will almost certainly happen will be that mahmoud abbas is seen as even weaker the palestinian national representative and hamas will be further strengthened to the dismay of israel and the united states journalist and columnist for the israeli newspaper gideon levy claims israel has not left palestinians much room for maneuver. if user sees no need to be blown to see it says yes to terror i mean that palestinians will continue to fight for their freedom and their don't waste two basic ways to do so once through diplomacy and negotiations and the other one. is sort of sees no to both they claim that this is one sided the step the palestinian taking only the us but the settlements are much more one sided than

even irreversible than this step i mean i bust the this for a shooting from little thing was sheer asians he was ready to negotiate the instant there was very logically once like freezing the settlements is a say slow freezing the said invent so more quickly is still good for him except the hoodlum international community and us is there for a collision israel should have supported him and the united states for sure shalit support this. also coming up there israel has secured unwavering u.s. support when it comes to the palestinian conflict on other issues washington should say no. you're not going to be making decisions for us. later in the program or announced days when it's a big new year that isn't ski explains why the u.s. should establish boundaries in its relationship with israel. plus the hague

tribunals for a second time equates a former course of in general of killing and torturing serbs and decision slammed by belgrade as biased. egypt's national assembly is expected to vote on a new constitution later on thursday hoping to appease tens of thousands of protesters across the country that rage has been mounting for a week now after president morsi granted himself unchallenged powers although promising to abandon them once a new constitution and parliament are in place journalist bell true has the latest from cairo. when this constitution is drafted and goes through referendum president morsi wrote in his controversial constitution that duration of his extra powers he's assumed. and this is off the referendum however the real issue the heart of this debate is the constitution itself and the way that it's being drafted the opposition forces really see the constituent assembly as a body because at least

a quarter of its members staged a walkout including keep it was on the steps from the church and liberal leftist forces for example so this constitution they really see has been drafted by president morsy supporters members of the muslim brotherhood and the other is in the most groups still back in the constituent assembly so i'm afraid this document will do nothing really concerned crease the anger of the opposition forces who at the moment is staging an ongoing sit in in fact we have a protest called to say by opposition and pro morsi supporters which if we if they meet we expect to see quite a lot of clashes on the streets this is also already been. very violent we've seen the death of at least one protester in these clashes between rival protest this protests a fifteen year old boy died and now i'll go to a few days ago i'm actually as we speak right now clashes continue between protesters and police which is entering its tenth day with really excessive use of

force by the police i myself have been in these clashes since the beginning of the week and we've been using a lot of tear gas which rights groups have been condemning the tickets itself is very very strong and the air in downtown really is things even if you approach the front lines and that you really can't i mean all so really we expect more clashes on the streets of egypt. blog and journalist while the scandal says there is a growing feeling in egypt that the still a long way to real democracy. the fact of the matter is that everything is going in the opposite direction of what the revolution is cause for the constituent assembly itself is a reflection of how unwilling to share power the muslim brotherhood are and along with mohamed morsi. he says that he will give back powers as soon as a parliament is a is elected but he's not allowing you gyptian to share in writing the constitution so this to me seems like a false promise about giving back power because the one thing he can do is allow

dipshits to write their own constitution and share power and he's not doing that to judiciary have been a tool for the mubarak regime but if we come to think of it when people protested barak they were protesting police brutality and we see that morsi is giving promises to the police that they will act with impunity and does not want to bring anyone to justice for the crimes they've done and still to come a syrian opposition opposition group tells the west to back off. as if the keys is some nations are bringing more bloodshed to the country while the heart of europe commits itself to another foreign based opposition coalition that's still ahead. plus the legal battle of bradley manning charged with leaking fisons of classified documents gains momentum with his defense insisting that client was briefly appeased in detention. chancellor angela merkel is being called to account in germany over why she has signed off on seven hundred thirty million euros worth

of concessions to greece a hefty bill that will be footed by german taxpayers artie's peta all of us is in the. the opposition members of the social democrat party have merkel and her center right coalition that's the is not merely a rubber stamping service and if they want to push through this latest package they're going to have to prove to m.p.'s that it's in the best interest of germany what this latest package contains is a bond buy back scheme low interest rates only the debts that greece has as well as the hunting over of profit from these debts what they say in chile means though is that for twenty thirteen germany is said to lose around seven hundred and thirty million euros to implementing these latest measures all of that of course not making great reading for chancellor merkel she said time and time again that the

german taxpayer would not be hit financially by germany giving help to greece now they have to admit that that is going to happen and this is all happening on the basis that greece can pay some of it back by twenty sixteen where it should be back on its feet almost well considering the current state of the greek economy not an optimistic statement to make the opposition i mentioned the social democrats they're saying that any debate on debt restructuring for greece will have to wait until after the general election takes place here in germany so with the shadow of the election starting to come into view and merkel essentially being politically embarrassed by having to go back on a promise she's made it's all stern to be a very interesting to pay when german politicians discuss the latest financial aid package for greece. well later this hour max cars and stacy who bit see similarities between the central banks of congo i'm britain speculating on just

what is filling that bolts. congo rebels around central banking goma they're looting the bank a un source said later another un source denied that there had been money in the bags insisting they were full of being a lot of the central banks are collateralized by beans that's similar to the bank of england mark carney is going to be arriving to the bank of england in a few short months and he'll find that in the vaults are bags of beans and some of boris johnson's wigs but other than that there's nothing to collateralize his bank so yes of course you've got incredible similarity central banks are being looted the rebels whether they're in africa or in england. the motive is the same. and we hope that with more international use after

efforts for a peaceful resolution to undermine their diplomatic mission to find north violent and to the civil war on its doorstep they had offered to host representatives from all sides of the fighting in syria at a closed door today gathering no to violence yes democracy took his request for nate to me styles to be deployed on its border with syria through the scorn of iran's foreign ministry who said all that would do is aggravate tensions across the whole region and violence has actually already intensified following the latest interventions from western and some arab diplomats when the syrian opposition formed the syrian national coalition as and see it quickly received recognition as legitimate voice of the people from the likes of britain and france which even backed its conviction by confirming it would send one to help million dollars to get the new organization up and running none of which has done anything to stop the

attacks in syria and loss of life the dividing lines inside syria are being played out and torn wider by the international community and its divided approach with russia and china promoting peaceful dialogue from the beginning other nations showering the armed opposition in syria with guns cash and encouragement was no coordination the ordinary syrians caught up in the crossfire don't know where they stand apart from monday hail of shells and bullets more international t.v. reporting from iran. crisis in syria is pressing for iran there are other which issues to worry about israel has long been threatening a military strike against iran's nuclear facilities an attack that analysts say could come as early as january but in this case israel shouldn't count on u.s. support according to were known statesman because in skate speaking at a conference to cocoa hosted by the national iranian american council. i don't think there is any implicit obligation of the united states to follow like you know

stupid mule whatever the israelis do if they decide to start a war simply on there's something that will automatically be drawn into it i think it is the obligation of friendship to say well you're not going to be making national decisions for us. policy director for the national iranian american council told us that even if the u.s. doesn't want it washington may still find itself drawn into a war with terror. whether the u.s. blindly backs israel or follows yahoo into military conflict with iran i think that remains to be seen but i would say that the same policies that we've seen the pressure policies some of the lack of flexibility in being able to negotiate has been driven by the influence of hawkish pro israel lobbies in congress

and here in washington and that. you know for the u.s. and frankly for israel that is not a policy that is. beneficial to their interests at the end of the day we're faced with either diplomatic resolution to this standoff or we see the escalating pressure or the escalating antagonism that cannot survive indefinitely that eventually is going to reach a tipping point and whether it's deliberate or it's accidental we're going to end up in a war let's take a look at some other international use a series of blasts targeting shiite muslims in iraq southern cities have killed at least thirty one people and left dozens wounded a car bomb exploded in karbala which is being visited by thousands of shiite pilgrims during the holy month of may well twin explosions also the. city of no group has yet claimed responsibility. anger is growing in these tell you head of the results of wide reaching

know relatively short space of time makes my brain diversity of creatures is all from it's by a man and a true self. oh i'm max kaiser welcome to the kaiser report markets finance and read all i've got to read lines for this past week tell me if you notice a similarity similar headline one condo rebels around central bank in goma. headline june goldman sachs takes over the bank of england notice a similarity about this m twenty three marconi m twenty three marconi the news is not only repeating itself it rhymes statement yes max i've got my rebel outfit on

here and the first headline is congo rebel surround central bank in goma congo rebels appeared to be looting the central bank in goma after refusing to withdraw from the city they captured last week and twenty three fighters surrounded the bank early this afternoon and were seen loading white bags into cars that armed rebels looked nervous and ordered the guardian to leave the area they're looting the bank a un source said later another un source denied that there had been money in the bags insisting they were full of beans a lot of the central banks are collateralized by beings that's that's similar to the bank of england mark carney is going to be arriving to the bank of england in a few short months and else find that in the vaults bags of beings and some of boris johnson's winks but other than that there's nothing to collateralize his bank so yes of course you've got incredible similarities central banks are being looted

the rebels whether they're in africa or in england and the motive is the same of course there are being encounters at the central banks in the west so goldman sachs takes over the bank of england this is mark carney of course he is from goldman sachs he was there for thirteen years and after that he was at the bank of canada and now he's at the bank of england now this headline comes with this map as you can see in the above map government sachs stretches from the tip of crete now to the windy wilds of thirst so scotland now you see all the goldman sachs alumni who are now running europe whether it's papa de most in greece or monti and italy but the one i want to point your attention to is mario draggy who is of course the head of the e.c.b. . but he was the chairman of the financial stability board from two thousand and nine to two thousand and eleven whereby he then gave the chairmanship to mark kearney now the financial stability board has been in the news lately because they are the ones that monitor the shadow banking system they're the ones that recently

found we found six trillion extra that we didn't know existed before so now i'm on the mark carney won't be maintaining that position i'm running that authority the financial stability authority as well as the bank angle and there's a clear conflict of interest there mervyn king was easing off on quantitative easing signalling that he would allow interest rates to resume their normal ised rates in the four and five percent which would force the economy to have to pay its way here in britain instead of relying on handouts and welfare from the bank of england and the city so naturally he had to go he had to walk the plank to bring in a duff mark carney who will introduce on orthodox central banking techniques more in the style of ben shyster bernanke which is.
